Humility Before Honor

Embedded image from another site


Lord,
I come to You thirsty for Your Mercy and Grace,
Tormented and humbled, naked and ashamed.
Just a man stripped of his armor and all of his pride,
But I always knew I stood as a child in Your eyes.
I will not ask for Your forgiveness ever again,
For I know that He has already died for my sins.
I took You for granted and sought to do this on my own,
But Lord I now see I can't do this on alone.
The more my directions led me further away from Your light,
The more I felt empty from this raging sea thats inside.
I am asking for shelter and peace to make the seas calm,
My punishments well deservered, but I know that it had to be done.
Humility before Honor brings me back to that place,
The beginning of Hope to see Your perfect face.
Please give me my wings for just a moment of flight,
Im no longer the weak one whose spirit cowards from fight.
Lead my footsteps to Wisdom, but let my heart become free,
Forever Your son and like Him I will be.

Thank you Jerseygirl like the name, I know my favorite Ladybee up there sought some sadness and may be right, but I find joy in my humbling experience and in God. Proverbs 3:3 wass my inspiration.

Hi, fjamesj9701,
At its best, faith gives us strength to become our best and to make the world a better place for our having been born into it. Thank you for sharing.

As you asked, you shall receive
as from hence you wrote, deep from your heart
Your write is so gently, true within you

You already have your wings

Such a familiar story for me, I was here once as well and went through so much torment myself. I never could understand what went wrong all that I know is that it dead. The very same day I found out the wrong she was doing I was in an accident that would leave me in a bed crippled for the next eight months, building hate, anger, and separation from God. When my hell all began. Thank you for being open and honest, sometimes thats all we need. You persevered and thats what counts, Thank youDH for commenting..Jessehandshake

Dearest Liam & Jesse - Thank you so much for revealing God's honor in you both! You humble men have inspired me so much today. How wonderful and liberating it is to see the Lord's Spirit alive and working in you. I will pray these prayers for myself and also choose humility before honor. Thank you so much, my brothers and friends!! angel heart wings hug

You could have been praying this for me fjames! A write obviously done with truer and deeper feelings. It is then that I always experience the greater connection with the Love of my Soul.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful and heartfelt piece. I am touched, and found a longing in my spirit to pray for you. I believe that when we go to God with such honesty and the intent of just being heard by Him, that He knows "we got it" and the lesson is learned.

Bless you! teddybear

Jesse ,
it has been an honor to read your incredibly touching words in this piece .
There are none of us perfect , that's for sure ... and there are time when we must be humble , contrite and ask forgiveness from god and also from those in our daily lives.
Warm regards as always -F hug
